nu[1]

  1. Bake your Spam in the oven to reduce its fat content. Set your oven to and let it preheat.

Bake the Spam slices for 10-12 minutes, or until they start to brown around the edges.

    • If you want to cut back on even more calories, bake your Spam slices on a grill pan or wire rack to drain off some of the excess fat.
  2. Throw Spam on the grill for a mouth-watering charbroiled flavor. To char broil them, heat your grill and wait for it to get nice and hot—about works. Then, dice up your Spam and lay the cubes evenly across the grill top. Cook them for 1-2 minutes. Once the cubes are heated through on their first side, flip them over and give them 1-2 more minutes, or until they reach the desired doneness.[2]

  4. Eat Spam right out of the can. One of the best things about Spam is that it comes fully cooked, which technically means it needs zero prep and can be eaten raw.

    • Keep in mind that when eaten straight from the can, Spam has a softer, gelatinous texture, so it's definitely an acquired taste.[5]
  5. Put together a tasty Spam musubi. Spam musubi is a popular Hawaiian snack that has its roots in traditional Japanese cuisine. To see what all the fuss is about and make a Spam musubi, grill or fry a slice of Spam, then pat out a block of sushi rice into the same shape and place it on top. Wrap a sheet of nori (roasted seaweed) around your Spam musubi's fillings to hold it all in place.[6]

  6. Fry up some Spam donuts. Trim slices of Spam into large circles, then cut smaller circles out of the center of the slices. Fry your Spam donuts in a spacious skillet filled with of cooking oil for about 2 minutes per side and allow them to cool for an additional 2-3 minutes before getting your munch on.
